SpineGuard has obtained additional regulatory clearance from COFEPRIS (the Mexican healthcare regulatory authority) to sell its Curved and Curved XS PediGuard devices in Mexico. SpineGuard has previously received clearances for its Classic and Cannulated PediGuard devices.

“This additional regulatory approval completes our offering into the substantial market of Mexico. Mexico’s spine surgeons will now benefit from all of the PediGuard features, including directionality and miniaturisation, thus minimising complications due to cortical breaches and reducing their exposure to radiation as a result of less dependence on fluoroscopy,” said Pierre Jérôme, CEO and co-founder of SpineGuard.
